Design and Construction Advantages
Each Royal Purple oil filter features thicker shell material for extra strength and extra security against puncture from road debris. Metal end caps provide each oil filter with a positive seal for filter element assembly. The center tube is designed to prevent filter element collapse.
A 100% screen-backed synthetic media provides superior filtration while keeping flow restriction low. The by-pass valve is engineered to ensure oil flow in situations of excessive filter element flow restriction. A heavy-gauge steel backplate provides each filter with higher burst strength. The gasket made of premium nitrile rubber with special lubricity compound reduces torque during installation and removal.
Finally, the silicone anti-drain back valve prevents dry starts by eliminating oil drain-back during shutdown. The anti-drain back valve is made of silicone, which outperforms and outlasts standard nitrile rubber in both extreme cold and hot oil temperatures.
